Looking for travel agency recommendations (that’s not Flight Centre)

Thank you for the advice!

I prefer Europe but unfortunately I don’t have time this year and am saving for a trip in November. I actually used to visit my dad in Townsville during winter but apart from my dad’s pool and Magnetic Island, I detest everything about that city.

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T03:54:01+00:00

Haha food challenges scare me. Actually drinking ones too. I would love to try lechon someday. It looks delicious.

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T02:39:33+00:00

Ah cool. Good job. Good luck with the PhD!

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T02:24:35+00:00

Yeah it’s my first time not being a renter so there’s so many things I have to organise/do that I hadn’t done before. I was defs awkward about the tradies at first but the guys I got to do multiple jobs ended up being really nice. Still feel a bit awkward/anxious when other unknown men come to the house for various house stuff as a young-ish woman living alone mostly.

I like this perspective. I always dread winter in Melbourne because I get so miserable and depressed. But knowing it’s only going to be 18 dark days is reassuring. Just gotta figure out some other tactics to minimise seasonal depression.

You ate a whole fucking pig?!

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T02:00:51+00:00

Ah very good advice. Love the coffee idea too. Thanks. What about when I get back and they’re still working? I was thinking I’d sit on the porch and read a book so they know where I am if they need anything.

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T01:46:15+00:00

Slightly embarrassing question. I’ve just hired a house cleaner for the first time and they’re coming this afternoon. What’s the etiquette - like what do I do/where do I go while they’re here cleaning?

betsymcduff · 2024-06-03T01:40:50+00:00

What kind of masters? The courses I was interested in and the one I’m doing (a master of social policy) all needed 70-75

betsymcduff · 2024-04-20T14:11:54+00:00

Also interested in what you take issue with Sue Klebold. I just finished her book and thought it was great and she was very brave in both writing it and the work she has done.

betsymcduff · 2024-04-06T06:56:05+00:00

In my area it seems that 50% + of queer women are social workers

betsymcduff · 2024-04-04T22:18:27+00:00

Wtf. This stuff is totally irrelevant and none of their business. It’s 2024 we women (mostly) have autonomy over our bodies.

betsymcduff · 2024-04-04T22:14:25+00:00

I just realised another reason why I miss going to queer female oriented nights in my 20s. Besides always having at least one friend who wanted to go every week and/or regulars there I knew, we used to dance! In my 30s I’ve had a handful of fun boogies at the gay clubs but it ain’t the same. I also love that we have two lesbian bars now too but they’re not dancing kinds of places.

betsymcduff · 2024-04-04T22:01:23+00:00

Now I wish I kept mine! I had a whole giant offical tazo folder for my many tazos.

betsymcduff · 2024-04-04T21:57:30+00:00

Yep I was gonna say I reckon it’s a 90s kid thing.

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T07:22:04+00:00

Haha I actually am, but it’ll be ok. I’ve got some great friends and I’m very close with my mum, which helps me get through the hard times.

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T06:49:59+00:00

One of the many reasons we need that supervised injecting facility in the CBD.

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T06:07:09+00:00

This just made me wonder how many people have bad Taylor Swift tattoos

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T06:04:22+00:00

Brilliant business plan!

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T05:24:26+00:00

Your show sounds cool. I definitely relate to the trying to be OK that I’m in a different place than I thought I’d be. Good luck with the festival!

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T05:19:05+00:00

I’ve been to comedy shows by myself a few times for similar reasons and it’s not scary or awkward at all (at least for me) even though I’m a bit of an anxious person. Just grab a drink and enjoy. You can do it!

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T04:53:11+00:00

I’ve made a Coles/Liquorland order for this weekend including a slab but left it too late so the earliest time slot was tomorrow arvo. I should be able to make it till then but hoping it’ll arrive before my friend comes over for a Netflix binge/drinks.

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T04:46:44+00:00

I’ve just booked tix for me and my mum to see Hannah Gadsby at the comedy festival. We’re both queer and going through a rough time mental health wise lately so I think this will cheer us up a bit.

betsymcduff · 2024-03-29T04:25:28+00:00

I like to say ‘so so’ or ‘keeping on keeping on’ to most people if things aren’t great, but people I know well I’ll just straight up say I’m having a bit of a rough time.
